lyrics

Mama I love you I don’t want to raise your kids
I want to shoot whiskey, play the banjo with my friends
I’ll stay true to you, come home to you but I got a life to live
Honey, I’ll marry you but I ain’t ever gonna want them kids

You parked your car in the alley behind the bar
When the cops showed they towed it away
You asked for a ride, it was love at second sight
As you cried into your house chardonnay

I took you home, we don’t have to sleep alone
The night is young the children are with friends
I don’t roll dice but you seem pretty nice
The weeks passed by you asked if I’d move in

Mama I love you I don’t want to raise your kids
I want to drink cold beer, play the guitar with my friends
I’ll stay true to you, come home to you but that’s my money to spend
Honey, I’ll marry you but I ain’t ever gonna want them kids

It’s hard to sleep with every light on in the house
And your pops been on our couch since your mama put him out
I can’t think with dishes piled up in the sink
And the little ones running off at the mouth

Mama I love you I don’t want to raise your kids
I want to shoot whiskey, play the banjo with my friends
I’ll stay true to you, come home to you but I got a life to live
Honey, I’ll marry you but I ain’t ever gonna want them kids

It’s cold as hell in Georgia and all my spirits are broke
Baby, you’re an asshole read the last line of her goodbye note
